How does queer theory, as revealed in the readings by Foucault and Raymond, help us to understand the ways in which LGBT characters have challenged heteronormativity* in the wider Western culture, as well as understand and appreciate the significance of that challenge?<\/p>\n
What are the particular challenges that sexualization offers to us\u2014no matter our orientation\u2014and how might (or might not) sexual citizenship offer us a way of surviving and navigating a sexualisation culture?<\/p>\n
*Heteronormativity is the phenomenon whereby heterosexual sexuality is made the normative standard for sexual orientation in Western society; people of other sexual orientations, notably here LGBT, are then made to answer to that standard in how they think about themselves, conduct their lives, and view media and culture.<\/p>\n
